What's the craziest/most interesting/unique item you've ever hauled or towed with your Taco?

And then this is the Dodge Ram I am allowed to drive, but can't because it's currently being used by a coworker from out of state who doesn't have their car here...

 

Yup, similar to my niece..she can drive the dump if empty but if loaded needs a CDL

 

For someone with a CDL; The only vehicles I've driven that come close are a Ford F-350 regular cab dually with a flatbed and a Ford Transit dually when I worked at the detail shop...

 

I can drive that thing loaded without a CDL, but like I said my company requires training for anyone who wants to drive it...

 

CDL doesn't care about loaded or unloaded, it should only matter if it's commercial and what the GVWR is.

Is it a private dump truck, or a commercial vehicle?

I guess it could vary state by state. I'm just curious.

 

Was talking about the niece/dump truck @ABA180 mentioned. Not the pictured rig above

 

Not a taco, but it was my first vehicle and gateway drug to midsize trucks.

89 ford ranger, running on 4 out of 6 cylinders hauling a double pallet of fence post last spring.

Guy at the hardware store said he would try not to damage the bed, I told him to just worry about not damaging the forklift.

I love my new Tacoma, but old metal trucks still have a place in my heart

 

Commercial, used for her and her boyfriend's landscaping business. I want to say (at least here in MA) the GVW is 26000-something and it weighs about 16-17K empty, but I would have to have her refresh my memory re the particular numbers.

 

Yeah, as far as I know here in WA, if you are driving a commercial vehicle that requires a CDL due to GVWR, it doesn't matter if it is loaded or unloaded, you are still required to have it. If it's not a commercial vehicle, you can pretty much do anything you want, hahaha.

FYI, not an expert, just my understanding.

 

I don't see anything crazy or unique in there...

 

It's been slow; With COVID, I really haven't hauled anything particularly crazy or unique in a while...

 

Not a taco, but here is something interesting that I have hauled

 

I've hauled 10,300 lbs of brick, cement block and mortar debris in 1100 lb loads. Does that count???

How about 2 pieces of 16' long 2x10 not in the bed.

Boxes of 12' aluminum soffit....also not in the bed.

 

Not the first time I've seen this setup! Except last time there were may more broken suspension pieces and wheels and tires in the seats.

 

Two miles each way; I don't really give a shit...
